Rockies troll Mets after doubleheader sweep in Queens
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Mets continue to struggle in their 2026 season, recently being swept in a doubleheader by the Colorado Rockies, who have taken to social media to mock the team.
- The Rockies posted taunting messages on X, including calling themselves the “Kings of Queens” and tagging the Empire State Building with a photo lit in Rockies purple.
- Colorado won both games on Sunday (3-1 and 3-0) and also defeated the Mets on Friday, ending the Mets’ brief positive streak after snapping a 12-game losing streak.
- Other teams, including the Minnesota Twins and MLS club Charlotte FC, have also used social media to poke fun at the Mets and associated New York teams amid their poor performance.
- The Mets scored only one run across 18 innings on Sunday, raising questions about manager Carlos Mendoza’s job security as the team trails 10.5 games behind in the NL East heading into a series against the Nationals.
